I'd like to know how it was lost in the first place but I am glad the one I provided worked.  Thanks for the update.

Tried it and it works.

Still would like to find out how to get the proper one back!

Thanks.

I'll give that a try later.

I uploaded a block named Right Angle.dwg and placed it in the CAD Blocks section under Architecture > _Other.

And here is a link about creating custom arrowheads and how to use them.

http://www.cadblog.net/creating-arrowheads.htm

Consider this your fall-back option.

Good luck.

Options > Profile.

Any of the settings you access via the Options dialog box would be affected.

I thought all the arrowheads were blocks but I can't locate them.  OK...so I went back into my drawing and changed to the Right Angle arrowhead and created a dimension.  Then I exploded it.  The Right Angle arrowhead is definitely a block but AutoDesk programmers thought that the name _Open90 was much more appropriate than Right Angle.  Now that I know what to search for maybe I can find the damn thing.

Crap!  Even with that bit of info I still could not find the block on my computer.

Well if you don't want to reset your Profile or do a REPAIR I could WBlock out the arrowhead and upload it here along with instructions on creating your own custom arrowhead which if you did do it I would use the name Right Angle and avoid using _Open90.

Got to step away from my desk for a while.

Try resetting your Profile first.  If that doesn't work then you could do a REPAIR of the installation. 

You could also recreate the right angle arrowhead yourself.

This is not a new installation.

The right angle arrowhead has been in use previously and I have not tried to create a new arrowhead style.

Where are the arrowheads stored. Is it possible to import from another computer or can I repair my installation?

There's no real reason why any of the arrowhead styles that come standard with AutoCAD should be missing.  Someone would have to intentionally delete it or there was a problem during the original installation of the program. 

Is this a new install?

One other possibility.  You didn't try creating a new arrowhead style by any chance did you?
